How these materials are prepared
Articles rely on the publicly available rules of the platforms (Copart, IAA, Manheim), history services (CARFAX, AutoCheck), and official sources on customs clearance in the Republic of Moldova and Transnistria. Currency dates are noted in texts covering tax and customs questions — materials are updated when the rules change.
